You might have to borrow a Google Play Store account.

I use Molly on fdroid. I do have signal but it's the apk version so I might have to tough it out

[–] LWD@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Does Molly work for that? Looks like they updated to 7.0 to me.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't see the new username update in Molly yet

At the risk of sounding like a broken record here, can you confirm what version you have? I see 7.0 is released, but 6.47 is recommended.

Ah ok. I didn't check in settings. It is 6.47 foss

Edit: oddly enough, in fdroid it shows I'm on 7.0.1

Edit 2: ohh so I have 2 versions of molly installed hee hee.

Neither of them let you set your username though? Interesting. When the functionality arrived for me, it was announced via a popup that showed at the bottom of the app as soon as I updated. But it might not roll out to all 7.0 users at once either...

It works for me on 7.0. I am able to make a username but I have yet to use it as my friends probably don't have 7.0 yet
